Super high. OP never came back and wonky avatar on the new dude.

And sound like a bag of smashed assholes. I don’t care how tunable it is, the blue oval boys could learn a thing or two from the bowtie boys on how to make proper V8 engine noises.

Man, this has been a bust. I had a Wagner IC on my Mk7 Golf R. Full E85 tune and it performed great. Still, this one seems over large, and the teething issues aren’t great. I had a Perrin IC on my FK8, and it was really good. Not sure if they make one for the FL5, but I’d happily go that...

For sure! Now here, I definitely agree. Sometimes we are just the sum of our experiences. I have had several Hondas, VWs, and Mitsubishis over the years. Honda has been super tough to deal with in-warranty for my family. Prelude shift forks, faulty A/C compressors, Si paint. Their initial...

I think the main misunderstanding here is “replace”. Of course they’re not going to just give him a new car. Replace to me means buyback. At that point, let the buyer decide if he/she wants to search for another Type R or move to a different platform. Now, on to: “What incentive does a dealer...

Frankly, you’re entitled to your opinion as well, pejorative or not. Honda is well known for build quality, but notorious for being tough to work with inside warranty claims. Volkswagen is the opposite. Electrical or mechanical issues, VWoA is better customer focused, and someone will advocate...

I’m going against the grain here. 185 miles, people. It is completely unreasonable to pay over $50,000 for a car and for the engine to not last 200 miles. Very likely, the Carfax will indicate that the engine was replaced. The original owner is going to lose a substantial amount of value on...

Was present on Two Step and base map. Any map with Hondata at that time. It would buck and run like crap in the midrange for the first couple of minutes. It was an intake cam timing tuning issue with the software.

225 miles and 3 hours each way. I’d probably be game if they have sorted the intake cam advance issue they had early on. It made my 2023 run poorly for the first couple of minutes on cold start. Hopefully this is not an issue anymore that would plague my 2024 FL5. Also torn, because I like my...

If this happened to me, I’d jump platforms. There doesn’t seem to be a clear cut reason why this happened, and it doesn’t look like driver error. Loss of traction from bouncing and stiff suspension is my best guess. The damping is too high in +R and even Sport for high speed corners. It...

+ -Handling -Super visceral and engaging to drive -Shifter and clutch relationship a dream -Size, room, and the fact it’s still pretty lightweight. -Great resale value - -Suspension is way too bouncy only during high speed corners, making +R and sport damping unusable on any roads that aren’t...

Agree on +R for engine. But I also love the +R sweeping tach like the S2000. Looks the best.

No difference in feel for me in my stock car +R valve open or closed. Individual mode also has the most aggressive throttle mapping, so it’s same as +R. I did not try it in sport or comfort, as I never use them and hate the tach in those modes as well as the super laggy acceleration.

Early FL5s using Hondata had a tuning issue that made the car run like total crap from cold start at low/mid RPM for a couple minutes due to excessive intake cam advance. This was obvious, however, and hard to miss. I believe it has since been rectified, but sold my 23 and haven’t jailbroken...

Put it on a dyno and prove it. Otherwise, it’s just an armchair theory. You can’t equate truth to feel.

255/40/18x9.5+45 Saga S-Plus Diamond Dark. Azenis RT660 Stock height

Installed. Stock wheel/tire combo is 52 lbs even on my bathroom scale. This combo is 47.2 lbs each on the scale. For the sake of convenience, I'm calling that a 20 lb loss in unsprung weight. 255w tires listed above are Azenis RT660, which run wide, and look as wide as the stock 265w rubber...
